<p>Jeremy, I am so so happy for you! I know that you were waiting to hear, and it has been such a long wait! Just curious, did you receive a big envelope, or was it a small envelope that came today?</p>

8

<p>It was a big package. It doesn't say "congrats" on it, but...there a books piling out of it so it's pretty obvious. I got it and i was like ,"hmm..gee..what ever could be inside hre? I'm scared daddy!" But honestly, big = in, small = rejection or possibly waitlisted.</p>

9

<p>It seems like my kid is the only one that I am aware of that actually got a small envelope first (last year). We are also OOS. It was followed up 2 days later with the big envelope that had a CD in it. That's the reason that I was curious.</p>

10

<p>that's interesting!? I wonder why the admissions committee would notify your son like that. oh well! at least he got in :P</p>

11

<p>Don't know, but he got 2 envelopes. The small one scared me when I saw it. It was a pleasant surprise when my son opened it. As I mentioned, the big envelope was here 2 days later.</p>

<p>Congrats Jeremybeach! The wait for the letter seems like forever but once you get the letter the wait was so worth it!</p>
